I bought today for 1 €, in a vinyl record store in bankruptcy (sniffing and drying my tears), a 45rpm E.P. (released on a french label : President records) of the famous swedish surf band from the 60's The Spotnicks (i thought it was a great found, but i can hear Mr Dantefontana laughing !).The band is still playing, on tour mainly in Sweden, check their official website

Here is a video of the men in action with the track Rocket Man from 1962:

uploaded by ThundernestAs he pointed out : "The Rocket Man (1962) was addapted from Russian folksong "Polyushka Polye" or "Polyushko-Pole" (Cossack Patrol/Meadowland/Song Of The Plains/Oh My Fields/Cavalry of the Steppes).This song with its inspiring melody, which is restlessly driving on, was created in the years of the Russian revolution 1917-1922. It probably was sung by the white army first, but soon also by the "Reds". First recorded by The Red Army Choir in the 1930s on Melodiya (Lev Knipper/ Viktor Gusev)."--As the band is still playin' nowadays, running a website and making records, i can't share this record here....
